Make SpeckleView Dockable in Revit. #11

Closed fraguada closed 6 years ago

fraguada commented 6 years ago

First draft is just a floating form. I've not even handled the logic for it to stay on top of Revit.

FYI, this one is not as straightforward as it might seem at first, DockableWindow has its own API in Revit.

@fraguada I merged in some boilerplate code for setting up dockable windows in the Revit project. PR https://github.com/speckleworks/SpeckleRevit/pull/14.

The dockable window is registered at application startup with additional command data being accessed when the Ribbon command is run. There is also a special workflow for safely running transactions on a Revit document from a modeless dialog. This is shown the form_MainDock and ExtCmdModeless classes.

I have only ever done dockable forms with WPF forms in Revit so it appears there may be a need to switch from CefSharp.Winforms to CefSharp.Wpf (I am not familiar with CefSharp and its uses)
